A Sad Day
I remember when I left my country; I was so sad. That day was one of saddest I ever had. I missed my grandparents, my friends and my relatives I left Mexico. I wish I could go back soon.
<br>
<br>It was may 20, 1995 when I went to my grandparents' home to see them for the last time. I was crying when I told them I am going to come here in the United States. As soon they heard what I just said; they both hugged me and began to cry with me. I was so sad that I couldn't get through the door to leave. I stayed with them for almost the whole night. Finally, when the time to leave was coming, I left them.
<br>
<br>My friends are so nice with me that it was so hard to tell them bye. They were sad as I was because we have to separate each other's. I missed them a lot. Specially, I missed them when I go to play soccer with my new friends that I made here. We used to play soccer in the "Plaza".
<br>
<br>I have so many relatives that are living in Mexico, and I really want to visit them.
<br>
<br>I hope I could go in Christmas. I remember how they got when I went to their home to say bye. They were a little bit upset with me because they said that I was leaving them alone.
<br>
<br>My relatives and I have such a good relationship. I love them a lot.
<br>
<br>The day May 20,1995, I wouldn't ever forget. This was one of the saddest days in whole life. I almost have five years that I haven't seen my friends, relatives, and grandparents. I want to be with them again as the old

    I was seven years old when my family made our great return to the Unites States. I had moved back after spending 4 years of my childhood in Panama, growing up next to my family and learning about my Hispanic culture. I excelled in Panamanian school, spoke perfect Spanish, and had an abundance of friends. Returning to the United States after being risen on a completely different lifestyle was a scary thought to my seven year old brain.…

    That was the day that my grandpa passed away. Every single part of that date is engrained in my memory. My parents had driven up to Wisconsin, and my older sister Lauren drove home for college to stay with me. It wasn’t out of the normal for my parents to quickly leave, so I didn’t think much of it. I remember going to hang out with Tatum, my best friend of the time. It was a nice day outside, so of course we were outside playing on the trampoline and doing all our weird routines like we always did. Her family, who was like a second family to me, decided to go out to eat so they brought me along. We went to La Charitas. I remember how Mrs. Teeple pulled out a funny card game for us to play, and I remember Tatum cutting out faces in her tortilla, making us all laugh. When we got back to the house we saw that my sister called, so I said bye to the Teeples and walked one minute down the road to my house. Lauren, who is one of the most emotional in the family, was left with the task of telling me that my grandpa had passed away. I had just grabbed a snack of chocolate cheerios as she started to tell me the news. I didn’t know how to react, so I ran into the basement directly to the furthest corner I could find. Lauren tried talking to me, but I wanted to be by myself. One of the hardest things I have ever done was talking to my dad on the phone after finding out. He called to tell me the plans, that he was coming home to get us, and…

    The year I turned six, my mom decided to migrate to Mexico. However, she was not able bring my one year old sister along. While my little sister stayed with my grandparents, my mom and I flied out to Mexico. I still remember the feeling in my stomach the moment I stepped out of that airport. I was an ocean away from my hometown. My first day of school was chaos. Everyone in the school was speaking in Spanish. I did not understand the customs and mannerisms. It was difficult to not feel as an outcast. The most complicated part was expressing my feelings, and my needs to the teachers. I lived in Mexico, Tijuana for six years, after becoming adapted to the environment, my mom came home one day and told me that we are moving to the United States.…

    I remember my first day in America like it just happened yesterday! I moved to America from India when I was just 12 year old. When I started my journey to America, I was getting mixed feelings, one side I was excited to go to America I saw in movies and wanted to be a part of great American culture but on the other side I was feeling sad about leaving behind my friends and place I was born and spent my childhood. But when Pilot announced that we are about to reach to Houston in 30 minutes I got anxious and opened my seat window. When I looked Houston through plane window, cars on freeway looked like ants’ running in one line and that was really interesting to me.…

    We arrived back in Elburn, Illinois to our home where the air conditioning was on and our beds were soft. The water was just coming right out of the fridge and not a filter on top of a well. This country sounded so peaceful that my jaw dropped at the sight of how easy our lives were. I told my mom, “ It’s hard to believe what we just did, but I cannot wait to go back next year!” From this experience I have learned to be grateful for all that I have and to realize how amazing our lives are compared to others. Because of this event, I have seen how other people have it and how less fortunate they are. Now I see the World in a different view and I love everything I…

    At the age of two my parents made the long and devastating journey to bring me and my siblings to the United States from Mexico. They sought for a brighter and better future for us and fought tooth and nail to give us the world they didn’t have growing up. Ever since I had stepped foot on U.S soil I never had the chance to go back. The sacrifices that permitted me to be able to attend school for free and giving me a better head start than I would’ve had if we’d stayed couldn’t mask the effects of the move. I didn’t grow up being enriched by the colorful culture that Mexico has, I missed out on the opportunity to share moments with my family from abroad, and fought the struggle of trying to blend in, in an environment that was so different…

    I remember the day well. I was just finished with school for the year and sitting on the front step, the top half of me laying back on the porch, just staring. I was thinking about the small house my mother worked so hard for us to get and keep. We lived in row housing just outside Juneau Alaska. All of the houses were small and I always thought to myself, “Is this the life I am destined for?” My mind wondered as I looked up at the clouds and squinted because of the sun.…

    I remember growing up i'd cry because I wouldn't want them to leave my side. They were like my best friends and it's really hard to see your best friends leave your side after all the fun you've had with them. It's so cool seeing them leave because you know they're doing it so they have a career one day but it's so hard you forget why they have to leave you. I went on my first roller coaster and i was scared to but i did it for Andres and Isa and let me tell you it was very thrilling!!! It's really strange knowing they are becoming adults because it seemed like yesterday they just ended freshmen…

    11th July 2011. I was currently at my friend’s house when my mum came and i had to leave. Do you know the feeling when something just doesn’t feel right and you know that something really bad is going to happen? Well I do. My mum came into the backyard when my friend and I were playing. I looked up at her and the expression on her face wasn’t very good. Looking into his eyes you could tell that something was wrong. I will never forget that moment when my Grandfather passed away.…

    I kept crying every day over stuff I’ve lost in my country, but my grandmother encouraged me to look for positive outcomes. We were safe now, away from all of those cartel members who were prosecuting us, and that have assaulted my dad (who was a police officer) several times, now I understand why Mom cried every time Dad called her in the midnight. I also had access to a better education. Since I had to pay for High School in my country, now being able to attend it for free in the U.S is something I’m very thankful of, in addition of a better economic…

    A sad lonely day

    The water was quiet so quiet that I could hear the ripples in the water. I tried to skip rocks through the water, but all I could think about was you. How it was a very sad and lonely day. One day I thought about the trees and the flowers, but of course you'd pop up again. I always thought that life would be possible without you. The more I think about it; the more that dream seems to be impossible. I hate this life I live because school nor life could ever be as good as you were. You were the inspiration that kept me going in school that made me try and now that you're gone I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I hate the fact that I don't know this and all I really need help is with my History class, but that can't even seem to be close to being done since all you do now a days is ignore me.
